Can you tell me where I can order that 100 MBPS your "law" promised to me two years ago ?
I live in a small town and my house has only a 4 km long copper line.
There is no reason to believe optic fiber will be delivered to me within 15 years.

if the fork should have happened it would already have
You claim this based on what? |

But some people arguing here do want a permanent 1 MB block.
Which ones? I don't remember names, and honestly I won't go dig through >130 pages of mostly garbage. You made the claim, now back it up with evidence. Or STFU, and stop making strawman arguments. OK, I made a bad argument. Please disregard it. Come on smart guy, where is the list of those who want a permanent 1MB block? Are they the same people who are mostly altcoin/Monero shills?  I don't know, I've never mentioned anything about altcoin supporters in this thread. You must be confusing me with somebody else. |

I would never sell any of my bitcoins.
The only way I would get rid of them is exchanging them for goods and services.

Very insightful opinion. Try using more words next time, explaining why you like or don't like the option you chose. |

Think this thread is dead.
I agree. speak like we want 1mb Bitcoin forever

We oppose this fork primarily because we see bitcoin as a challenge to bad money and bad governments. We don't see bitcoin as a fancier way to do the same old things. As it runs now, bitcoin is exactly what we want. As it runs now, bitcoin is sound money that governments cannot control. Yes, that means the poor will not have easy access. No, that's not a problem; nice things are not for the poor. Nice things have a cost, and poor people can't pay by the very definition of them being poor. They don't have to all be poor though! Being a billionaire has never been so cheap as it is today! 10 bitcoin is 1 billion satoshi (the true unit of account recorded in blocks). That's like 3k USD right now. First you say that Bitcoin is not for the poor, but then you say that it's very easy to be not poor. So, while not technically a contradiction, this leads to the conclusion that Bitcoin is for everyone (which contrasts with “Bitcoin is not for the poor”). So, which is it? Also, saying that “Being a billionaire has never been so cheap” is just oxymoronic, unless your definition of “billionaire” doesn't actually involve being rich. If it's so, then being a billionaire isn't actually impressive or something that people would want or desire. |

This post seems like spam to me. This has been discussed so many times in the thread and outside of it.
Because storage isn't like the cheapest component in a computer.
Before anyone else screams it, the issue seems to be bandwidth, not storage. I still think you can easily acquire more bandwidth, though. |

if you would be married to her you would try to get rid of her for free
Why did you marry her if you don't love her? I mean seriously I could just take her to the woods and let her free but no, im a good husband im trying to find a decent place for her, so dont fucking tell me about human rights.
Because treating her as an object is being a good husband. Somehow. Buy her and im sure you wouldnt talk about human rights
If I bought her, I wouldn't be respecting her human rights. So, no, I won't do it. |

OK, I use the wrong words. You SHOULDN'T run a full node in a cellphone. Its battery will run out quickly and your bill will be enormous for the data use. If you'll leave your cellphone connected in a spot, never to be moved, then just install a computer there. Don't do such ridiculousness.
The point is that you do not need, and should not need, a dedicated high-end server. If you can run it on a smartphone, even if you shouldn't, indicates you can easily run it on any desktop PC. Why should it not need a high-end server? How else are you willing to secure the network if not with high-end servers? If you can run it on a smartphone, then the network is as weak as a smartphone (which are purposefully less powerful than desktops and laptops). I wouldn't trust my life savings to a smartphone-powered network. I agree. Word isn't designed to be used by everyone. Its price is also something most people can't afford.
This point works equally well with Open Office. And an office suite *is* designed to be as easy to use as possible. Microsoft Office and Open Office are different products with different goals. You shouldn't think they are the same. Also, “as easy to use as possible” will never be equal to “usable by everyone”. You can't please everyone, and any developer knows (or should know) that. |

Im selling my wife
Does your wife agree with this? If not, that's human trafficking, and it's illegal. dont worry she wouldnt even know the difference It doesn't matter if she knows or not. Human rights should be respected at any time. |

You can't have a blockchain in your cellphone. That's a fact, a fact that will never change even if you get 1 KB blocks.
Except you can. OK, I use the wrong words. You SHOULDN'T run a full node in a cellphone. Its battery will run out quickly and your bill will be enormous for the data use. If you'll leave your cellphone connected in a spot, never to be moved, then just install a computer there. Don't do such ridiculousness. No matter the size of the blocks, you will need a properly configured server to run a full node. Most people in the world aren't capable or don't have access to the technology of running a server (as astonishing as it sounds)
The same is true of technical skill, most people in the world are hardly technically literate enough to run MS Word. I agree. Word isn't designed to be used by everyone. Its price is also something most people can't afford. |

Whether the source of blockchain bloat is S.DICE, BitDNS, Counterparty, Blockstream, GavinCoins, or even (gasp!) sustained actual use, the point remains that in reaction to bloat... ...Bitcoin users might get increasingly tyrannical about limiting the size of the chain so it's easy for lots of users and small devices
So, are you saying you are getting tyrannical because Satoshi said so? People in this thread have claimed before that taking Satoshi's word as a fact is a fallacy of authority. But you seem to be doing exactly the same with this quote. Also, I don't see how “getting tyrannical about limiting the size” will help users with small devices. You can't have a blockchain in your cellphone. That's a fact, a fact that will never change even if you get 1 KB blocks. So what kind of “small devices” are we talking about here? No matter the size of the blocks, you will need a properly configured server to run a full node. Most people in the world aren't capable or don't have access to the technology of running a server (as astonishing as it sounds), so limiting the block size so that a fictional set of users who somehow have the resources to run a server, but not enough resources to run it with 20 MB blocks, is nonsensical to me. |

When you "register" an account on telegram with your phone number (the same procedure of whatsapp) you can also add an alias. If the other people want to communicate with you, they should only search your alias/username in the search box on telegram. At the end it is better telegram than whatsapp because it is more "anonymous".
Cool, I didn't know this. If it's so, then yes, Telegram seems like a better option to be included. |

You want to add Telegram, but are ignoring WhatsApp, which is, whether you like it or not, more widely used than Telegram.
Whatsapp needs phone number and I don't think BT users will share phone numbers with each other. Doesn't Telegram use phone numbers too? You don't want to give your phone number to others, username is enough. What username? |

Is it just me, or is the 1MB supporter consist of just 4-5 of MP's cronies like davout, icebreaker, MP alts, and that baron guy... and the 20MB supporter is EVERYONE FUCKING ELSE!?
It's fucking clear as daylight that even that 20% opposition in the poll is inflated by troll accounts.
OMFG.
No, you're right. I'm still in this discussion because I have nothing better to do. |
